Massage

Therapeutic Massage:

Therapeutic massage involves long, soothing strokes that work to appease the nerves and help alleviate stress. This type of massage helps lessen tension and stress by combining long gliding strokes along with muscle kneading. What are the results? Extreme relaxation! Therapeutic massage makes a wonderful present for yourself or a friend.
 
Post-Operative Massage:
 
Post-operative massage helps speed up the recovery process after a surgical procedure and also focuses on lymphatic drainage.

 

 

Laser Hair Reduction:

ND: YAG technology. Candela’s GentleYAG laser.

The FDA has approved the GentleYAG laser hair reduction as one of the few that can claim to be a “Permanent Hair Reduction” laser. Because of the use of ND: YAG technology it is possible to treat any kind of skin type. The GentleYAG targets not only the shaft of the hair, but the bulb and the blood supply that is connected to the bulb. The laser is suited for both men and women and can be used around bikini areas, legs, on facial skin and even on backs and underarms. Laser hair reduction has never been more secure or more practical!

 

 

Vein Treatments

Sclerotherapy:

Sclerotherapy is a micro-injection method where a concentrated saline solution is infused into the blood vessels with a small needle. As a result of this process, the cells that line the blood vessels are dried out with scar tissue to stop blood from being carried and stop the blood vessels from being visible. The appearance of the vessels will continue to advance for up to one or two months after the treatment.

Most patients will need two to three treatments in the course of two to three months with a goal to have results of about ¾ of improvement. Starting the day of the procedure, it is recommended to walk at least 30 minutes a day for at least a week.


 

Laser:

The Candela GentleYAG laser is very successful in treating the veins that are too tiny to be treated by sclerotherapy. Using both the GentleYAG and Sclerotherapy methods to erase those unwanted veins will increase optimal results.

Microdermabrasion:

Microdermabrasion is a process that offers skin abrasion without the need for surgery. Microdermabrasion uses micro-crystals of a high medical grade, which are pushed at a high speed across the skin’s surface to chafe the skin’s tissue. By increasing blood flow to the surface of the skin, oxygenation is increased, which causes an enhancement of cell renewal and collagen growth.

Microdermabrasion treatment is specifically for fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, aging, injured, dry and/or oily skin, acne (blocked pores and blemishes) and scars. Seven 30-minute treatments are usually required for best results.

Skin Care

Restylane:

RESTYLANE is an environmental gel based on a natural substance called hyaluronic acid. RESTYLANE is specifically for mid-to-deep dermal implantation for the improvement of sensible to harsh facial wrinkles and folds. A fine needle is used to infuse the gel into the skin in tiny amounts. Because the result is immediate, it creates an ongoing, natural enrichment to the skin. Normal side effects after the injection are tender redness and/ or swelling which disappear in about a week. RESTYLANE is long-lasting, but not permanent, and always leaves the option of continuing or changing further treatments when it wears off. Follow-ups can be performed at any time. Because RESTYLANE is a non-animal product, there is no risk of obtaining allergic reactions from general foods like beef, chicken and eggs.

Radiance:

Radiance, like RESTYLANE, is considered an aesthetic filler. Radiance is recommended for procedures such as lip augmentation and facial contouring that lasts for two to five years. Radiance consists of calcium hydroxyapatate microspheres in a gel carrier and because Radiance is the same mineral component as bone and teeth, skin testing is not require. The use of Radiance is for those who are confident of the look they desire. For those who aren’t as certain, Restylane is recommended because of its temporary results. Also, the procedure takes about 15 minutes and you can look your best in about 24 to 36 hours!

BOTOX® Cosmetic - BOTOX® Cosmetic is a sanitized protein, administered in a simple, non-surgical procedure. It helps improve the appearance of some facial wrinkles and is effective in stopping auxiliary hyperhidrosis (armpit sweating). This procedure is a simple, ten-minute treatment that consists of a few tiny injections. After treatment, most patients go right back to their daily routines and improvements are visible within a few days to a week. Because this is not a permanent procedure, most patients are treated three times a year. For best results BOTOX® Cosmetic is used in conjunction with RESTYLANE or Radiance. BOTOX® Cosmetic is administered only by physicians.

Chemical Peels:

Chemical peels are acidic solutions applied to smooth the surface of the facial skin, improve skin color and tone, moderate wrinkles and contract blood vessels and pore size. Peel solutions normally include one of the subsequent exfoliating agents, in order of effectiveness: alpha hydroxyl acid (glycolic acid), beta hydroxyl acid (salicylic acid), tricholoracetic acid (TCA) or a phenol. The effects can be as strong as those of some lasers.

Alpha Hydroxy Peels (AHA)

Alpha hydroxy peels do not posses the same concentration levels as those available to plastic surgeons. The peel works by drying up some of the top layers of skin and by letting it peel over a period of several days. The result is a new layer of pure skin that has a smoother texture and more even color. It can be very superficial in depth causing the skin to become flaky for one to two days and if deeper, it can take up to seven to eight days to cure. AHA peels are recommended to those who do not want much down time. Also, because AHA peels temporarily lighten the skin, it is recommended for darker skin patients.

Beta Hydroxy Peels (BHA)

BioMedic MicroPeel® Plus uses salicylic acid, a beta hydroxyl acid, to slosh off dead cells and debris while stimulating the skin’s natural renewal processes. The BioMedic MicroPeel® is designed for patients who have damaged facial skin because of conditions such as acne. Depending on the concentration used, peeling may occur for about three days. This is a lighter peel that typically requires a series of treatments depending on skin type. La-Roche-Posay has developed additional products for Long Term Maintenance for the patient’s personal investment.

Obagi Blue Peel

The Obagi Blue Peel is more aggressive than either the Alpha Hydroxy or the Beta Hydroxy Peels. Layers of dead skin cells are replaced by healthier ones allowing the skin’s own clarity and tightness to resurface and create a more youthful appearance. The Obagi Blue Peel is for anyone with wrinkles, pigmentation problems, sun damage, poor skin quality, blemish-prone skin or aging skin. The Obagi Blue Peel uses tricholoracetic acid (TCA) solution applied to the skin to get rid of dead skin cells to produce new skin cells. Since TCA is not absorbed through the skin, there are no internal toxic effects. Doctors are enabled to control the peeling process and its profundity for all skin colors and thickness because of the slowness of the Obagi Blue Peel.

Tricholoracetic Acid Peel TCA Peel

TCA is the deepest facial skin peeler that helps remove the top layer of facial skin and by allowing healthier layers come about.
